Free AccessMNI: PBOC Restricts Banks Overnight Lending to NBFIs - Traders
BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China has made it more difficult for
non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) to borrow overnight money, as it has
ordered some banks to stop lending in order to force NBFIs to deleverage,
China-based traders have told MNI.
Since Friday, there has been speculation, unconfirmed by official sources,
that the PBOC asked certain banks to stop lending overnight money to NBFIs,
although longer-term funding remains available.
On Monday, it appears more banks were ordered to stop lending overnight
money to NBFIs, a move confirmed by several traders. How long the measure will
remain in place is still uncertain, as the PBOC has not published any official
announcement.
The PBOC's move is aimed at forcing NBFIs to deleverage by increasing
difficulties and costs for NBFIs to get funding to leverage up. According to one
trader, the overnight borrowing rate spread between banks and NBFIs was as high
as 100 basis points on Monday.
The move is in line with the PBOC's Q3 Monetary Policies Report, which
stated "roll over overnight funding" to meet liquidity needs and overleveraging
is "inadvisable."
The move did not spook the market, as current liquidity conditions remain
relatively abundant, due to the effects of the targeted required reserve ratio
cut, Contingent Reserve Allowances (CRA) and fiscal spending. The CFETS-ICAP
interbank liquidity index stood at 39 as of Tuesday's close, slightly lower than
Monday's closing level of 41, suggesting the liquidity condition remains good.
Down the line, bond markets will likely be impacted if the measure
continues, as the deleveraging process by NBFIs will see an increase in selling
pressure.
